Workshop and Performance

Rocio De Los Santos & Luciano Capparelli have been partnered as Argentine Tango performers since 2000, when they participated in Buenos Aires Youth Champions competition. Since then they have done numerous world tours as a team, participated in many tango shows. They also have danced in the best Buenos Aires shows. The New York Times November 2006 review of the Tango Fire Show performance reported : “No couple, however, was as beautifully lavish as Luciano Capparelli and Rocio de los Santos.In each of their tangos, tension gave way to voluptuous softness and powerful overhead lifts melted onto the floor in silken extensions. As the title goes, they were on fire”. This couple will teach and perform at Viva Tango at Princeton this coming Thursday May 31st, 2018. This is an event you will be thrilled by.
